We feel like we're getting to know each one of
you personally and, as a friend, it's a pleasure to ferret out
valuable health information for your wellbeing.

We're certain that you are looking and feeling
Young Again Forever, if you have been practicing what we preach!!

Always remember that we are NOT medical doctors.
The information we disseminate comes from qualified researchers
and reputable publications. If in doubt about anything you read
here, consult your doctor.

Today, it is not going to be a dry medical topic,
but it is as valuable. It is going to be an advisory on how
to have a great day, everyday.

This may seem to be a mundane subject, until you
consider that we have no alternative but to live out each 24
hour day, so why not make it a healthy and happy one? The other
choice is no choice at all!

Try and wake up by 6 a.m. after at least 7 hours
of sleep. Adequate deep restful sleep is essential for physical
and emotional wellness, and you don't have to rush (stressful)
if you wake up early. You will also feel quite chipper in the
early morn.

Before you get out of bed, close your eyes and
make a positive affirmation of your choice. It could be as simple
as
" Today will be a very successful day for me". Or
"Everyday, in every way, I am becoming better and better". In
the first moments of awakening, you are still in your alpha
level, and have easier access to your creative subconscious
mind.

For those of you who have bought the Tibetan technique
video, do your daily practice, on an empty stomach. It will
invigorate you, and get your chakras spinning. In between postures,
face yourself in the mirror, look into your own eyes and say
to yourself, "I look and feel younger, and healthier, everyday".

Do try to have something healthy for breakfast,
and include a fruit (or two). This is also the best time to
have your vitamin supplements, after having lined your stomach.
Eat a light lunch, including a fruit. If possible, take a walk
in the fresh air at lunchtime. However, don't eat while walking.

After lunch, if you can squeeze it in, a ten minute
light meditation with closed eyes will do wonders for your afternoon.
You will feel alert and rested. Visualize, and completely enter
into, a restful scene.

At some stage after returning from work, practice
at least 30 minutes of meditation alone, or with your partner.

It can be as simple as sitting comfortably on
a carpet / chair, closing your eyes, and counting backwards
from 100 to 1. This will, with practice, take you into your
relaxed creative alpha level. Then, visualize a calm, relaxing
scene of your choice (a forest glade, the seaside, a lake) and
LIVE IT for 15 or 20 minutes. Feel the sea breeze on your face,
hear the crackle of leaves underfoot on the forest path, smell
the leaves, the damp salty air .... the appropriate scents!

This simple exercise will change you in many beneficial
ways, and will effectively de-stress you.

Have a light dinner, preferably by seven o'clock.
A glass of red wine is said to be good for the heart (consider
the French with their rich diets and cheeses, but lower incidence
of heart disease, which has been attributed to their penchant
for red wine).

Sometime in the evening, find time to laugh with
your family. Something amusing must have happened to one of
you during the day. Laughter is so very good for you physically,
and it provides a medium of bonding for the entire family.

And finally, fit in a relaxed walk in the fresh
air before retiring by 11 p.m. (so as to get at least 7 hours
of sleep). And it all comes together if you share these moments
with your family, or someone close to you. It may not have been
the most exciting day of your life (or maybe it was!), but you
will certainly be a more relaxed, healthy and happy person if
you live most days this way.

When I was in my younger days,
I weighed a few pounds less,
I needn't hold my tummy in
to wear a belted dress.

But now that I am older
I've set my body free;
There's comfort of elastic
Where once my waist would be.

Inventor of those high-heeled shoes
My feet have not forgiven;
I have to wear a nine now,
But used to wear a seven.

And how about those pantyhose
They're sized by weight, you see,
So how come when I put them on
The crotch is at my knee?

I need to wear these glasses
As they now print things smaller;
And it wasn't very long ago
I know that I was taller.

Though my hair has turned to gray
and my skin no longer fits,
On the inside, I'm the same old me,
'tho' the outside's changed a bit.

But, on a positive note...

I've learned that no matter what happens,
or how bad it seems today,
life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person
by the way he/she handles a rainy day,
lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

I've learned that regardless of your relationship
with your parents, you'll miss them when they're
gone from your life.

I've learned that making a "living" is not the
same as
making a "life" and that life sometimes gives you a
second chance.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life
with a
catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able
to throw something back.

I've learned that whenever I decide something
with
an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

I've learned that every day you should reach out
and
touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a
friendly pat on the back.

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.

I've learned that people will forget what you
said,
people will forget what you did, but people will never
forget how you made them feel.

-----------------SKIN CARE
TIPS----------------

Enzyme Peels are expensive salon treatments to slough
dead skin cells off the skin surface, and are great for
maintaining wrinkle free skin. The ingredients used are
natural proteolyctic enzymes called papain, which work
by digesting the dead skin cells on the surface without
damaging the new skin cells below. And guess where you
can find such enzymes? Yes, for low cost skin care you
can raid your refrigerator! The nutrients in tomatoes
or unripe papaya perform the same function. The new nutraceutical
creams also have the same ingredients, and in scientifically
researched dosages.

This skin care tip can be used by all skin types, and
is
good for guys as well!

If you suffer from chronic arthritis and are looking
for quick and effective relief from pain, this is something

13 active ingredients, including liquid glucosamine sulfate
and glucosamine HCL, chondroitin, omega 3 and 6, boswellin,
yucca, vitamins A, E, and C, manganese, and bromelain, (some
of which are on our own everyday-supplements list). More details

FACT FILE: FLATULENCE

-------------------------------------------------------------

Flatulence, or excessive gas production, can be
an embarrassing problem!

The production of some amount of gas, however,
is a perfectly normal process associated with digestion.

During the digestive process the food nutrients
that we eat must be broken down into small absorbable units
in order to pass into the bloodstream. Much of this activity
takes place in the stomach and small intestine.

Protein converts into its individual amino acids,
fats into fatty acids, and carbohydrates (both simple and complex)
are broken into individual glucose molecules. If food remains
'unbroken' it enters into the large intestine in an undigested
state.

There, the digestive process is completed by billions
of hungry bacteria -- the natural "intestinal fauna" we all
have in our large intestine. These bacteria get to work on the
undigested remnants, producing a variety of gases, as they do
so. Methane, hydrogen and hydrogen sulfide are some of the gases
produced by the bacteria, and these are stored in the large
intestine until they can be expelled. Hydrogen sulfide produces
the odor associated with flatulence.

What could be the cause of excessive gas production
by the digestive system?

But take heart, there are a number of natural
solutions to the problem.

To begin with, better eating habits would result
in immediate improvement.

** Eat slowly, chewing thoroughly. "Digest in
the mouth"

** Sip rather than gulp liquids

** Eat in 'layers', starting with fruits and salads

** Avoid consumption of aerated beverages

Additionally, use a natural digestive and mouth
freshener after meals. Fennel seeds are used in India, as are
aniseed and caraway. Chew on a few seeds after meals. Fennel
or anise tea would also be okay.

There are also a group of herbs, known as carminatives,
which are known to ease flatulence. Included in the group are
Chamomile, Peppermint, Balm, Sage, Marjoram etc..

However, to view the problem in the correct perspective:
it is perfectly normal to "fart" occasionally. Normal is about
14 times a day, though researchers have documented upto 141
times (though that person may not be the most pleasant company
to keep).

And, in some cultures, superfarters have made
the 'Hall of Fame'! Einarr Pambarskelfir, was a Scandinavian
folk hero who made it on that unusual feature. The Germans even
had a scornful expression, 'pimpf', for those who could not
produce a resounding sound when doing the normal. And, everyone
knows about the Frenchman "Le Petomaine" who farted tunefully
as the top billing at the famed Moulin Rouge in Paris.

But enough on the subject .....

In addition, there may be other reasons for being 'windy' that you
are possibly unaware of, such as over processed food, food sensitivity
or a clogged liver.

From our Readers:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I love my (Tibetan Technique) tape. The exercises are awesome.
I can do all but the one with the arms behind
the shoulders on the mat. I have carpal tunnell,
and my right arm and wrist are very sore so I
am working towards it. Thank you so much. "

The Fat Max Zone for an average 30-year-old, would
between 136 and 156 beats per minute.

Grab a pencil and paper and calculate your own
Fat Max Zone.

Without the need of a trainer, and by using the
above formula, you can make sure your aerobic regimen is working
towards increasing V02 Max (and your ability to burn fat), while
at the same time taking place in the Fat Max Zone.

Aerobic exercise needs to be repeated about 3
or 4 times per week, for a period of at least 15 to 20 minutes
to achieve optimum results.

Be sure to pay attention to how you feel, as well
as how you're breathing, during exercise. As a general rule,
you shouldn't feel overly fatigued, or winded, during aerobic
exercise, and you should be able to speak at least three words
(or syllables) without taking an in-breath.
